If you were wondering how much it might cost to book a band, website Priceonomics has got you covered. They’ve done some number crunching via Degy Entertainment, a third party booking agent. They admit up front that since they’re a third party booking agent specializing in college shows, the numbers are most likely inflated. The list is a pretty extensive one, but theprp isolated some of the heavier acts. It’s an odd list, given that some of the bands, like Disturbed and Breaking Benjamin, are on hiatus, so this information might even be a few years old.
